3-6 Object History
ObjectMAP provides the facility to view the history details of an object state. The Object State History dialog
box is displayed by right clicking on the object and selecting the View Object History option in the View pane
right-click menu. The following fields are displayed in the dialog box:
Figure 3-9 ObjectMAP Object State History Dialog Box
• Status
This field displays the status of the object when ObjectMAP last recorded a change in object state.
• Threshold
The threshold being monitored is displayed in this field.
• Time
This field displays the time at which the change in object state occurred.
• Status Text
This field displays the reason the object’s state changed.
Selecting the Show All Thresholds check box allows the user to view the history of the object for all the thresholds,
irrespective of the threshold that is selected for viewing the object’s history. However, if this check box is
deselected then the object history dialog box would display the records for only the selected threshold and
object. The entries in the dialog box can be sorted. To sort the entries, you need to click on the specific column
title.
NOTE: The object state history is maintained only if ObjectMAP is continuously running. When the
ObjectMAP interface is closed the history is lost.
ObjectMAP provides the facility to retain events on the workstation for object history. The history buffer is
created on the workstation, and the events are stored in the buffer. The user can specify the number of events
that will be saved in the buffer using the Global Options tab page.
